listen to voice mails. >> mine is embarrassing. in box, 1,251,926. >> he's in the million club. >> me times four. wow. >> thank goodness. >> don't forget to dvr the show. don't be charles payne. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> john: teenage couple caught on video violently assaulted during last weekend's teen takeover in chicago, exclusively telling fox police officers drove past them as a violent mob brutally attacked them. the police officers chose not to

intervene. >> sandra: you see how absolutely brutal and scary that was, and new concerns over crime and disorder, not just in chicago, but across america. so, how can leaders prevent the culture of lawlessness from overtaking these once great cities? we'll good giano caldwell, he says soft on crime policies are to blame and will join us live what we are learning out of chicago and coast to coast crime on the rise. >> begin, though, with the fiery hearing from the house oversight committee hearing, disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. good wednesday to you, sandra. >> sandra: about halfway there, sandra smith in new york. hearing comes two weeks after the biden administration released the report blaming the shocking collapse of the afghan

government on the trump administration. >> john: a group of inspectors general who wrote a separate report says president biden deserves a large amount of the blame for his exit strategy, removed american resources supporting the afghan government and allowed the taliban to swiftly take back control of the country creating a safe haven for terrorists. aishah hasnie is live on capitol hill. what is the white house saying about the hearing? >> the white house was sending out a memo attacking house republicans even before the hearing started, they said extreme maga republicans would be holding a politically motivated hearing in which they would claim the biden administration was obstructing oversight. that claim is actually not coming from republicans, but directly from an independent special inspector general. john sopko is 1 of 4 i.g.s

testifying in the house oversight committee hearing. he's been looking into the $8 billion that we have sent to the afghan people after the withdrawal and he told the committee directly today that the lack of cooperation by the state department is unprecedented. listen. >> as i sit here today i cannot assure this committee or the american taxpayer we are not currently funding the taliban. >> when he asked state how much money is the taliban getting from those programs, they couldn't answer. because they don't know. >> even democrats have been dismayed by this, watch. >> i regret today quite frankly, sir, hearing that the state department, dod and usaid have produced some documents but not given the full cooperation that is sought. i'm going to, on the record,

urge all three of those agencies today to cooperate more. >> and john, things have gotten very emotional, too, when lawmakers have brought up those 13 u.s. service members that were killed at abbey gate. and we know the white house continues to refuse to call this withdrawal chaotic. i can report to you that both democrats and these i.g.s have had no problems saying the word chaos over and over again to describe this exit during this hearing. john. >> john: we remember in recent days john kirby said chaos, i don't see the chaos, but at the time he used the word chaos. >> everyone else does. >> john: he used it a year ago. >> sandra: number of title 8 expulsions, deemed inadmissible for remaining in the united states, surpassed title 42 removals along the southwest

be border last month. a backlog could keep migrants in the u.s. for years until their cases are resolved. kansas republican senator roger marshall will be joining us in a moment. casey stegall is live in el paso. how big is the backlog, first of all? >> sandra, it's pretty incredible. more than 2.1 million pending cases currently in the pipeline. the highest number ever according to this group out of syracuse university, 1.2 million pending cases in 2020, so grown quite a bit in three years' time. a break down of the top five states with the highest number of pending immigration cases. florida, texas, california, new york, and new jersey and that many people on line and more every day, wait times in some

places off the charts. new york city, according to a congressman, the earliest opening as of right now is ten years out. that is just for the initial appearance, then it's another length of time until their case is actually heard. >> it's a little concerning that some of them have to wait until 2033 just to appear before you and then they have to get another 2, 3 years before they even go to an immigration judge. >> we believe this additional staffing will go a long way and help more quickly eliminating the nta backlog. >> the doj has plans to hire 150 new immigration judges to help ease the backlog. but with title 42 expiration on the horizon, and large groups of migrants gathering on the mexican side awaiting that date, reports of up to 40,000 migrants camping out in juarez across

from el paso, many officials fear this court system alone won't be able to keep up. like a lot of the rest of the resources down here stretched so thinly already, sandra. >> sandra: it's a lot. casey, thank you very much from el paso. >> do you disagree with the head border patrol agent when he said our border is not secure? >> congressman, i have testified to that issue. >> you do disagree with him. you disagree with your chief of border patrol. >> i respectfully do in that regard. >> it's stunning that you can sit there and smuggly grin as if you have not failed your country. we are done, done, done with your lives to america. it's shameful what you brought upon our country. >> john: dhs secretary mayorkas facing a second straight day of brutal questioning from republican lawmakers who blamed

him for the poor morale of border agents and accused him of handing over the operational control of the border to drug cartels. senator roger marshall is introducing a resolution for a floor vote of no confidence for the secretary. what brought you to that point? >> i don't think there's a person in america who thinks the secretary is doing his job, not a person in america thinks the border is secure. i cannot sit down and talk to anybody in two minutes not talking about the concern for the safety and security of our families. so, secretary mayorkas is derelict in his duties, that's why we are introducing tomorrow, dropping this resolution, this vote of no confidence, and hopefully that will empower the house to do some type of an impeachment process. >> john: given the balance of power in the senate -- do you think they will take it up? >> i don't think they have a choice. my father, lifetime chief of

police is concerned about the safety, security of his family, of me, even just sitting down with a group of senators on monday, eight of us in one room and the end conversation how do we protect our staff. our staff members walking from the capitol to their apartments are not safe. bear spray is not legal in washington, d.c. those are the conversations we are having rather than addressing inflation, cost of gasoline, cost of groceries. >> john: a lot of people in america talk about the effect of immigration on americans but "new york times" was talking about the effect on unaccompanied minors, and how they are being put almost into indentured servitude by employers across the country because of the lack of a good vetting process by the department of homeland security and hhs. listen to this exchange between senator josh hawley and mayorkas yesterday. >> have you seen this report from the "new york times" alone and exploited, migrant children work brutal jobs across the

united states. have you seen? >> i have. let me share with you -- kwd>> have you seen these numbers? reports of trafficking and abuse of migrant children, you can see a massive surge that begins to happen when, oh, when you come to office in 2021. >> john: unaccompanied minors has exploded since president biden took over. >> right. another point the secretary is derelict in his duties, 5 million have acrossed illegally under his watch, 400,000 convicted criminal aliens still in this country and he's doing nothing about it. that's the challenge here, he doesn't want to do his job and by the way, that's what the president wants. the president of this country wants these people crossing illegally, he's hoping to stack blue states so they'll have more members in the house, more electoral votes as well. this secretary is derelict in his duties, he's got to go. >> john: i want to ask you about the report that came out in recent days from the senate. you headed it up, an investigation into the origins of covid.

report suggests there might have been two leaks out of the wuhan laboratory, falls short of a smoking gun. any doubt in your mind? >> no doubt whatsoever. he said shows two accidental unintentional lab leaks in wuhan, china. the first in september 2019, and the second when they were working on the vaccine. science, epidemiology points that direction, china has three years to disprove the theory. they have the evidence in the dna lab bank but it would show the continues, brother, father of covid-19. >> john: developing a vaccine in china more than a month before anybody knew covid even existed. so, there's the lab leak, which the report says was likely accidental. what about china's behavior afterwards? restricting air travel throughout china in the weeks and months following that but still allowing chinese nationals to travel overseas, including

here to the united states until then president trump put in the china travel ban which was dec declared -- >> 2019, that means they had to have the dna. they did not share that until january 10th, we could have started sooner, 4 to 6 weeks sooner, they denied human-to-human transmission, denied it could be transmitted even with asymptomatic people, we found out was so important as well. so they had more than just good faith mistakes. united states was funding this type of research through ecohealth for decades. they need to be held accountable as well. and they describe it as viral gain of function research we were funding with american dollars. >> john: i think we are just tipping the iceberg here. >> sandra: historic hearing on capitol hill, it's happening

today. the topic, ufos, and what one witness says may now be "probing earth," plus this. >> everyone went for him and ended up in the middle of the street. it was absolutely random. we didn't know anybody, we were just trying to walk through a group of people. >> john: that was ashley who spoke with "america reports" yesterday, what needs to be done to stop the crime crisis in that city? giano's brother was killed in chicago last summer. and progressive policies pave the way for lawlessness. for back pain, i've always been a take two and call in the morning guy. but my new doctor recommended salonpas. without another pill upsetting my stomach, i get powerful, effective and safe relief. salonpas. it's good medicine.

>> john: frightening story from a grocery store parking lot, a texas high school cheerleader, peyton washington, along with three teammates were shot by a man after one of the group mistakenly tried to enter the man's car. the incident happening a few days before washington was set to compete in the biggest all-star cheerleading competition in the world. police have arrested 25-year-old pedro rodriguez for the shooting, which has left washington in critical condition at a nearby hospital. friends and family remaining optimistic about the potential outcome saying they have no doubt peyton will be able to make a full recovery. sandra. >> sandra: thank you, john. the teenage couple you see getting ambushed in the shocking video on the streets of chicago during that so-called teen takeover over the weekend is sharing details of what the police did or rather did not do while they were being attacked. here is what they told us in an exclusive interview on the

program yesterday. >> while d.j. was getting jumped in the middle of the street, i was getting up off the ground and i saw the cops just drive by, they almost had to avoid the collision to get past us but they just drove by the incident in the middle of the street. >> so why is that the case? why does it seem the police are not stopping the crime in chicago? the brother of our next guest was shot and killed in the south side of is that city. giano caldwell, our heart continues to break for your family, you've been through so much in the past year. >> thank you. >> sandra: and now this, you see what is happening on the streets of chicago there, complete lawlessness. two teenagers were shot in the mayhem, the current mayor does not say it's mayhem. they are scaling the sides of busses, they are breaking into stores, they tried to break into the art institute of chicago. why is this happening and why do the police feel in some cases

like this couple is describing, they drove right by, they can't do anything about it. >> i'll tell you, with the mayor lori lightfoot not calling it out, didn't even want to call it a mob, political correctness is getting folks killed in chicago. the individuals, the lawbreakers, criminals, i know they are young, teenagers, i get all of that, but some of these folks are the ones behind the guns murdering people throughout the city of chicago. so, what do you do, do you call them teenagers who get involved in stuff, i mean, we were all teenagers, you might have gotten into a school fight but you are not pulling out guns and shooting people. you are not creating mob action in these particular areas. you are not doing that. and then we have brandon johnson coming into office who seemingly is already failing at the job of being mayor and he has not even been sworn in yet, with the statement he put out.

we shouldn't demonize these teenagers. generally speaking, i would agree. we shouldn't demonize teenagers. but in this set of circumstances, these young folks, many of them who got involved in the violence there, they are committing the crimes and they need to be called out for what they are, criminals. there needs to be consequences for them. brandon johnson offered no consequences he did not say when i'm mayor, we are going to have law and order, enforce the law, he didn't say any of that stuff. he gave them a welcome mat to commit more crime and guess what, sandra, we are only in april. things are about to begin to heat up in chicago. what we saw over the weekend is nothing, things get more rowdy in the summer, more people are killed and more of our innocent youth and seniors across the city of chicago are exposed and danger from the violence that continues to erupt without any consequences. >> sandra: the woman on the screen a moment ago, we had her

on the program as well. she was -- she was held up at gunpoint while walking her dog in the lincoln park neighborhood, at the beginning of seeing this in every single neighborhood in that city. you and i for years talked about how it was in certain neighborhoods and then it just spread everywhere. now we are talking about the main business district, the main tourist destinations, being overrun with crime, and you are writing this, the next chicago mayor excuses rioters, expect more victims of violence. it's a very serious warning, giano, for the residents of the city, the businesses of the city, the escalating soft on crime policies have paved the way for genuine lawlessness. crimes in many cities simply are not punished anymore. and now i had another chance to ask another really important question of that couple that was at the center of that brutal attack on the streets there, listen. >> do you believe that you two

were targeted in this attack or you believe it was random? >> it was very random. all we were doing, we had just left nordstrom and we were looking for somewhere to eat, and we saw that group and they just thought they was tough and move out the way, they were out there being stupid, young and dumb trying to prove a point for nothing. so -- that's how that happened. >> sandra: totally random, they were walking out of a nordstrom and walked into this. how do you protect against that, gianno, how do you protect yourselves, your family? >> well, i would encourage folks to go get a conceal carry permit to be very honest with you. to your earlier question, what can we do about this, you need strong leadership in the city. right now the chicago police department to my knowledge are still under the orders of lori lightfoot, has a no chase policy. you can't chase these folks on foot. if you chase them in the car you have to call your supervisor and get permission.

so police are demoralized, there was another candidate in the race named paul vallas, believed in law and order, long time democrat but still because he talked about law and order people called him a conservative. that's crazy because i remember, i'm old enough to remember where it didn't matter if you were a democrat or republican, your safety was one that every party cared about. you are a citizen of the city, you do that. you are deserving of that and now as you mention, you can't even go downtown chicago without being harassed or possibly even shot. that wasn't the case many, many years ago. lincoln park, gold coast, many areas where the wealthy people live, they are moving out because they can afford to. stores are moving out, citadel, businesses that pay good money are moving out. what about the poor people innocent victims of the violent

crime they can't afford to move out. what are the elected officials doing, nothing. i raise one last point. fbi in 2018 put out a report, black victims of violent crime, the perpetrators were also black. we need to in the black community, and i write about this in "the new york post" this past weekend, we need to get vocal in our community and start telling on the people who are committing these crimes. you know who the individuals are. >> sandra: yeah, you've been a huge advocate of that. >> you have to. and folks say what about my safety? folks in the civil rights movement were in danger but they still stood up. it needs to be the new civil rights movement of this era because the elected officials are not doing anything about it. >> sandra: i know that's what your piece is about. hope to have you back soon. good to see you. a quick follow-up to the couple we interviewed on the program

yesterday. the reason they felt compelled to go on tv and talk about what happened with them, they wanted to reach out to the good samaritan who helped them, drove them to the hospital, that worked. they didn't know who she was, they wanted the message thank you. fox was able to track down the good samaritan. lenora dennis. >> my daughters work downtown, my son works downtown and the only thing i really thought about was if that was happening to them, i felt like if i did not intervene that that young man would have gotten killed, right there. >> sandra: wanted to make sure we got that in there. you know, with all this bad stuff, there are good people out there, and she really stepped in and tried to do a good thing. she felt somebody was going to get killed in that, and she stepped in to help, john. >> john: god bless lenora, the world needs more people like her. the battle between alvin bragg

and jim jordan heads to a courtroom next hour. a judge is expected to rule on bragg's effort to block gop subpoenas over his indictment of former president trump. a preview coming up. >> sandra: and could the list of gop candidates be growing? chris christie is thinking about putting his hand in the ring. does he have a shot? the panel will debate that next.

>> sandra: high stakes court hearing in the lawsuit filed by alvin bragg against jim jordan moments away. he wants to block testimony of a former prosecutor concerning the

indictment of former president trump. c.b. cotton, what comes next? >> well, sandra, it's possible the judge in this case will issue a ruling today. mark pomeranz led the d.a.'s office investigation into trump before resigning in 2022. now he's been subpoenaed to testify before a congressional committee tomorrow. jim jordan wants him to talk about the office's investigation into trump. house republicans have criticized manhattan d.a. alvin bragg since a grand jury indicted the former president, arguing bragg is focused on getting trump instead of being tough and criminals. bragg argued the subpoena to mark is unfounded and unconstitutional attempt to disrupt an ongoing state criminal prosecution. during monday's house judiciary field hearing here in new york

city jordan urged the court to block bragg's attempt to hamper the congressional investigation, he argues is within the committee's power. >> what is alvin bragg doing instead of dealing with this criminal activity, he's using federal funds to indict a former president of no crime and when we want to investigate that and our constitutional duty and talk to a guy who has not worked for him for a year, he takes us to court. >> now pomeranz resigned frustrated the d.a. did not bring charges against trump at the time. he wrote about the frustration later in his book and sandra, ahead of today's hearing, he wrote a judge saying he agreed with bragg, calling the subpoena an attempt to impede and interfere with trump's pending prosecution. a lot more to watch and come here. >> sandra: and we'll be watching it. we'll check back as the news warrants. >> john: former new jersey governor chris christie could

join the ranks of republicans launching a 2024 bid. he will decide in may. so far only five declared candidates but quite a few names in the potential field. doug collins, and richard fowler. good to see you. chris christie, like asa hutchinson, very critical of trump. will not buy favor with trump supporters. >> like the bike lane on the four-way expressway. i'm not sure what this is, except continuation of what we have seen of chris, he's been vocal in his opposition, and willing to stand up to donald trump. would it be an interesting debate with chris christie and donald trump on the stage as they have been before, yeah, it would be. as far as the lane to get there, not so sure. >> chris christie has been very critical of ron desantis saying he's not a conservative, because of the spat he's in with disney when he got outflanked by

disney, christie said to not have foreseen disney was going to do what they did in response, to completely take over, it's not the guy i want sitting across from president xi or sitting across from putin and resolving ukraine. desantis got outfoxed by the mouse. so, does christie have something there? >> i tend to agree with the former governor on that point, but this point, the lane to take on donald trump if you are an anti-trump person is a very small lane and the problem with many of the anti-trump individuals, chris christie, i would say, former ambassador nikki haley, all of them were part of the trump administration so you can't have the trump accomplishments without having the word trump in them, and so you can't say i don't like the president but i want to take my accomplishments from the trump administration and i think that's where they all struggle. when you bring ron desantis, he

was in washington d.c., seven folks from the congressional delegation, his congressional delegation endorsed former president trump and here in lies his problem. he's not playing his back of the office politics correct. he has not endorsed yet, he's not calling members of congress, not playing the washington parlor game well enough to make his announcements as well as it could be, could create problems for him down the road and i think because he's also trying to play this, using air quotes here, this anti-woke game by passing as much legislation as he can, he's creating a space that if he is the winner in the gop primary, seems to be unlikely at this point, he will get into a general election and he will be to the far, far, far right and he's going to have to win places like michigan and wisconsin. hard to do. >> john: the lane to replace trump is very narrow as is the lane to combat joe biden. in addition to williamsson, he

has rfk, jr. >> i have come here today to announce my candidacy for the president of the united states. we have a polarization in this country today that is so toxic and so dangerous, one of the principle missions of my campaign and my presidency is going to be to end that division. >> john: a kennedy back in the presidential race, first time since 1980, i think. so at any rate, doesn't look like he or williamsson can launch a legitimate challenge but shows people are disenchanted with biden. >> i believe so, and we see it from the reports of the democratic party, he's the sitting president. i'm hearing out of kentucky the governor of kentucky, rumors will he challenge biden. i don't think they are going to come to much. but until joe biden says yes,

i'm running, that's going to happen. >> john: are you comfortable as a president that is going to be 82 when he takes office the second time? >> i told you what my intent was, i said it the other day. >> and i said and will continue to say it over again. objectively at the biden administration and the legislative victories, whether you like them or you don't like them, if you were donald trump you would wish to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill. if you are barack obama, wished to cap insulin payments. so, either of the presidents, the former presidents wanted the legislative accomplishments that biden has, the question is can he sell it to the american people. >> john: good to talk to you, thanks for joining us on this wednesday. >> sandra: congress holding its second ever public hearing on ufos in more than 50 years. why? more than 100 sightings still unexplained. so, what exactly were they? plus this. >> can you please define for me,

what is a woman? >> the focus of the department is equal access to students, including students who are lgbtq. >> you haven't answered my question. >> john: education secretary ducking the question on defining what a woman is while proposing new rules to block schools from banning biological males from playing in female sports. douglas murray says cardona's comments show he has no business being in charge of this pivotal issue. he joins us coming up.

regret to inform you after the historic hearing we are no closer to answering are we alone. but now they are called uap, today's lone witness heads the pentagon's uap office, known as the all domain anomaly officer, and raising abrows after a bizarre paper last month talking about extraterrestrials saying they could be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to earth. well, we caught up with dr. kirkpatrick after the hearing, had this to say. >> we don't have any evidence for that. have no evidence for that. all we have is the data you saw, that kind of evidence, and we are laying out all the signatures associated with that across all of those hypothesis. match data to hypothesis as we

get more data. >> much like how many uaps are weather balloons and how advanced actually is our adversary's technology, in the wake of the chinese balloons. >> the recent downing of the chinese surveillance balloon and three other objects underscores the need for domain awareness. adversaries like china and russia are working to hold u.s. interests, including our homeland at risk. >> senator gillibrand chaired the hearing said the past two years, over 300 incidences were deemed weather balloons, 170 were undetermined, we don't know what they are. >> sandra: we are all intrigued. thank you. john. >> john: elon musk says we are alone, and he would know. the border crisis spiralling out of control with more americans poise onned by the drug fentanyl coming into the united states,

>> he needs to take a seat and put a sock in it is what he needs to do. at every turn he says we are building america's economy from the bottom up and the middle out. the only thing he has done is crush working men and women and dole out money to the richest of americans, and then he castigates the wealthy and acts like they did not earn that money but hands out money to them. so, two years of falling incomes, working americans, people who are below the supervisory level, have not had a raise after inflation in 24 months, that has reduced the american standard of living, and people -- i just want to point something out. >> sandra: a live picture we are about to see the president. >> of course he goes to a union training facility, again, unions, in the pocket of the democrats and the democrats in the pocket of the union, and the

union wages are negotiated in contracts. so, they don't have to worry until those contracts come up. but one thing that we never point out is inflation is easing, consumer price index is down to 5%. but the actual prices, the rate of inflation comes down, but the prices don't fall. when prices reach a certain level, those prices don't come down. so as nothing as a group that americans have to pay for will wind up falling in price. these prices, they go up, they are elevated, and they stay elevated. so, our standard of living has been damaged by this presidency and we will continue to hurt and hurt, and we actually don't want the prices to fall because it would mean a deep, deep recession if not depression to actually bring those prices down. >> sandra: and if you don't believe the numbers, this is a

cnbc survey, ahead of the president's remarks that was released, finding there is record high pessimism for the country's economic future. peter doocy was able to sneak in a question just a few moments ago to kjp at the white house press briefing, brand-new, her reaction to pete's question. >> 69% of people polled by cnbc have a negative view of the economy. president biden talks about the economy all the time. why are people buying it? >> priority tides -- prioritizing, meeting the american people where we are. i know you are reading a poll, one poll, he's not going to stop talking about what the american people care about. >> sandra: a lot of action, what economic policy, and it's a question, what is it that he can

tout is working for the american economy today. quick follow-up. >> for working men and women that he's done, absolutely nothing. the inflation reduction act is a give away to wealthy corporations. estimated $1.2 trillion in spending in it, three times the estimate, and it's mostly for the affluent. it is welfare for rich corporations and it will not help working men and women and i suspect that he squints all the time to avoid seeing how angry people are who are out in the audience. >> sandra: we'll see a half hour from now. dagen, thank you so much. >> john: new at 2:00, california's latest push for equity might shock you. a new proposal says that wealthy should pay more for electricity than everyone else. could that change force even more californians to pull the plug on their state.
